Another Lost City

Goodbye to 16, 18, possibly even 20 centuries of Christian Mosul.

Goodbye to five millennia of Chaldean Mosul, the Christians being the descendants of the original, pre-Islamic inhabitants of Iraq as surely as they are the descendants of the original, pre-Islamic, pre-Israelite inhabitants of Palestine, with all indigenous rights accordingly.

If you supported the forcible removal of Saddam Hussein (who would probably have been dead by now, anyway), or if you supported the Islamist insurrection against Bashar al-Assad in support of the Islamist invasion of Syria, then you did this.

You.

This is your fault.

Yours.
